Ljubljana, 16 September (STA) - Hundreds of representatives of investors and shareholders from 55 countries will be in Ljubljana between 19 and 23 September for the Investors' Week, an event focusing on the latest developments on European capital markets.
The event is organised by the Pan-Slovenian Shareholders' Association, a group specialising in representing small shareholders at annual general meetings, in conjunction with the European Federation of Financial Services Users and the World Federation of Investors.
Proceedings will revolve around a conference discussing issues such as revitalisation of the European capital market, Eurobonds, financial reform, and business opportunities in Slovenia and the region.
An investors' convention, called Investo Expo, will present Slovenian and international industries, institutions, and products with the goal of forging new business ties and opportunities.
Kristjan Verbič, the head of the Pan-Slovenian Shareholders' Association, said he was pleased the event was taking place at a time when key questions about foreign investments are being raised.
"The meeting can benefit the Slovenian economy and financial system, and offer solutions for dilemmas that we are facing," he said.
Participation by senior policy-makers is expected, among them Finance Minister Janez Šušteršič, Economy Minister Radovan Žerjav and Foreign Minister Karl Erjavec.
